GREENFIELD, Ind.— Victims of a Greenfield headstone business are receiving checks in the mail from the state of Indiana.
The money comes four years after customers reached out to WRTV Investigates for help.
Mary Collins visits her husband’s grave site once a month.
“It’s not easy,” said Collins. “People will say it gets better. It doesn’t.”
Collins shares a bench with her husband Norman, who died five years ago.
WRTVCollins paid Greenfield Granite $1800 for the bench, but they never did the work, so she had to hire another company to finish the job.
“We were already in pain with losing our loved ones and then to go through this pain, it’s ridiculous,” said Collins.
Collins and dozens of other customers we talked with filed complaints with the Indiana Attorney General’s Office, alleging they paid for headstones they never received.
The Attorney General’s Office filed a lawsuit against Greenfield Granite and won a $379,500 judgment in December 2020.
